Mirai Nagasu Takes Title at U.S. Figure Skating Championships

Mirai Nagasu has won the ladies' title at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. She stunned the world with her performance in the short program, and now she stuns the world again by taking the title as the second youngest woman to do so.

At age 14, though she has won the national championship, she is not eligible for the world championships.

14-year old Mirai Nagasu creates sensation in U.S. Figure Skating Championships

On Thursday night at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships 14 year-old Mirai Nagasu put on a dazzling performance in the short program which won her an almost flawless score of 70.23.

This was way ahead of the score achieved by the former world champion Kimmie Meissner who only got 57.58 and came in seventh. It was also the second highest score ever in such an event.

This was the first time that Nagasu, who is from California, has attended the Championships as a senior. Yet even if she won, she would still be too young for the world championships.
